24 hours before treatment check for any reaction by
testing a few areas of hair.
The + and - buttons increase or reduce power levels.
Treat several areas of hair on each Power Level up to the
maximum Power Level for your skin type (see table). If
you feel any discomfort, the previous lower power level
is the maximum power level you should use.
A slight redness after treatment may occur. Any localised
redness after treatment is caused by the destruction of
the hair follicles and is quite normal. However, if any
redness remains after 24 hours this would indicate the
power level selected was too high for your skin type.
Use the next power level down during treatment.
PLEASE NOTE: Skin colour varies on different areas of
the body - you may find that you need different power
level settings for different areas. Each area should be
tested for the appropriate maximum power level.
